A long time ago in Europe and still today in some societies, river godesses are praised. In the magical space of The Menstrual Hut at Present Tense, we will embrace the life-giving energy of the flow and cycles that we share with the river. Together, we will participate in a guided river ritual led by the visionary Héloïse Lepinard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe invite you to bring a gift for the river(s) in your life.
